This! Been like 6 years since we could truly say that the team has started off with a good record. We have a lot to look forward to this year, with what we have seen so far.
This is a good article that talks about the PAC's mess, but also a possibility of them trying to re-offer AAC teams in the future with more $$ if they get a favorable court ruling on poaching fees. An NT mention too...
There are other schools out there that would still add value to the Pac-12. It makes sense to get into Texas, even if it’s not with UTSA. Texas State is on an upswing. North Texas has a history of success. It wasn’t so long ago that Rice went head to head with the likes of Texas and Texas A&M in the Southwest Conference.

NIU and Toledo are for football only which doesn't count towards the 8 all sports requirement by the NCAA to be recognized as a conference. BIG WEST podcast reports this morning that TSU has received a verbal all sports offer from the MWC and that the Wildcats also have been approached but not offered by the PAC 7 and AAC.The MWC is also interested in Sam Houston . My guess is that the MWC thinks it can always get UTEP and/or NMSU and wants to explore all options. I don't know why the AAC would be interested in TSU as it is basically in the same market as UTSA. The same line of reasoning would apply to UTEP and NMSU but what do I know.
